Review of The Home Teachers (2004) by Anthony D — 28 Oct 2011

Completely unfunny, and at times very annoying, showing two people who are completely incompetent at doing something that is actually extremely important in the church. The humor is nothing you haven't seen before: so squeaky clean that it is devoid of originality or creativity, and not a whole lot of intelligence to boot.

Eventually of course the two characters figure it out and there is a touching moment where they come to understand the real importance of home teachingâ¦but the rest of the movie is two completely clueless misfits stumbling around Utah trying to fulfill their home teaching requirements, both of them for the wrong reasons.

I understand that this stuff does happen in real life, and that regardless of their feelings or motivations both characters were at least trying to be good peopleâ¦but the film does not convey what little message the movie has effectively or consistently.

A major failure as far as Mormon filmmaking is concernedâ"which is definitely saying something.
